The paper presents the result of the research based on the analysis of official statistical data on employment and unemployment characteristics at the level of the South-East Development Region and the comparison with the other development regions in Romania. The aim is to highlight the level of the development of the South-East Region in the reference period 2020-2023. In order to achieve this goal, an analysis of the demographic and occupational picture, an analysis of the evolution of employment and unemployment and the identification of the sectors of activity that have attracted the labour force were carried out. The conclusions of the study show that the South-East region needs economic and social policies to increase its attractiveness to the population, all the more so as there is an increase in the number of immigrants.
